He released his self-titled debut LP in 2008 and has since gained notable media attention from the internet, and other areas including Pitchfork and ABC News. After gaining recognition, Ryan Ulsh was enlisted as a touring drummer and Wavves embarked on their first US and European tours. Originally signed to Fat Possum Records, he released his second full-length album Wavvves with them in 2009 and his third album, King of the Beach, on August 3rd 2010.

King of the Beach features a complete rhythm section comprised of Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes, both formerly of the late Jay Reatard's touring band. They toured for almost a year straight until Hayes left the band for some time off. Jacob Cooper, former drummer of The Mae Shi, has since taken his place. After playing the major festival circuit, Nathan started his own record label Ghost Ramp and released the Life Sux EP on September 20th 2011.

On March 26, 2013 Wavves released their 4th studio album "Afraid of Heights" on Mom + Pop records. Jacob Cooper left the band in 2013. Brian Hill (The Soft Pack/The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower) began playing drums soon after.

Wavves' fifth album entitled "V" was released on October 2, 2015 through Ghost Ramp and Warner Bros. Records.

Everything is My Fault
Wavves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything is my fault
Everything is my fault
Everything is my fault
Everything is my fault
Thing is my fault
Thing is my fault
Thing is my fault

I lunged at it all
Evil thought (?)
Then laughed it off
In the house where I grew up
Santa burned the trash (?)
This is all (?)

Every little thing is my fault
Every little thing is my fault
Everything is my fault
Everything is my fault
Everything is my fault

Everything is my fault
Everything is my fault

Overall Meaning

The song "Everything Is My Fault" by Wavves is a track about taking responsibility for one's own actions and feeling guilty for everything that goes wrong. The repetition of the opening line "Everything is my fault" emphasizes a sense of personal blame and accountability. As the song continues, the lyrics delve into darker emotions, such as lunging at "evil thought" and laughing it off. The lines "In the house where I grew up, Santa burned the trash" add to the haunting imagery of the song, suggesting that even childhood memories are tainted with guilt and responsibility.

The repetition of the phrase "Everything is my fault" throughout the song can also be interpreted as an internal dialogue or a personal mantra. The singer seems to be attempting to convince themselves that they are to blame for everything, constantly reaffirming their guilt. The simple, almost childlike language of the lyrics adds to the impression of a person overwhelmed by their own sense of responsibility, unable to comprehend or articulate their emotions in a more sophisticated manner.

Overall, "Everything Is My Fault" is a poignant and emotionally charged song that explores themes of self-blame and guilt. It is a haunting depiction of a person struggling with their own sense of personal responsibility, and the burden that it places upon them.

I don't understand at all
Me, my mom and dad just part

Bears a song again

I've always thought of creating a game and using this song and others depending on the ending. This would perfectly fit in the ending where everything goes to shit for the player.
